About This Launch
Screen Break is a lightweight macOS break reminder for people who sit at a computer for long stretches and need a real pause. It lives in the menu bar, tracks focused work time, and opens a full-screen guided rest with a countdown, breathing prompt, and simple movement guidance. It includes smart idle reset, busy auto-defer for meetings or media, adjustable 30 to 50 minute work duration, friendly limits on skipping, and support for Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, and German.
Why I Built This
I built Screen Break because ordinary reminders are too easy to dismiss. When I am deep in work, I often need a stronger but still kind signal to stop, breathe, stretch, and actually step away before fatigue builds up.
